## Secret management from the CLI

Managing API keys and credentials previously meant manually editing `~/.fabro/.env`. This release introduced `fabro secret` commands; later releases made secrets server-owned and write-only.

```bash
fabro secret set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY sk-ant-...
fabro secret list
fabro secret rm ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
```

## Repository lifecycle with `fabro repo`

Project setup commands now live under `fabro repo`. You can initialize a project with `fabro repo init` and, when you want to remove Fabro from a project, reverse it with `fabro repo deinit` — which removes `fabro.toml` and the `fabro/` directory.

```bash
fabro repo init
fabro repo deinit
```

The old `fabro init` still works but prints a deprecation warning.

## More

<Accordion title="CLI">
- Moved `fabro init` to `fabro repo init` with a backwards-compatible deprecation shim
- Added `--show-values` flag to `fabro secret list` to reveal secret values
  Later releases removed this flag when secrets became write-only
